Aims Oestrogen receptor‐beta (ER‐β) is expressed in colorectal cancer. Theoretically, ER‐β
stimulation could slow down tumour proliferation, and this is supported by preclinical …

Estrogen-receptor-beta (ERβ), progesterone receptor (PR) and vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF-A) have been implicated in colorectal cancer. However, the clinicopathological …

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that estrogen prevents colon cancer in
postmenopausal women, indicating a role in colorectal cancer carcinogenesis and tumor …

Sex differences exist in the site specific incidences of colorectal cancer. The increased
incidence of colonic cancer in women with breast cancer and the protective effect of …

Receptors for oestrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) were assayed in tissue from 17
patients with colorectal cancer and five colonic cancer cell lines using enzyme …

Sex steroids have been suggested to influence colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis.
Also, exposure to exogenous hormones might contribute to its incidence. This study …

Estrogen receptor β (ER-β) has recently been detected in a human colon cancer cell line.
The aim of this work was to determine whether ER-β is expressed in human colorectal …

Estrogens have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancer types, including
colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Estrogen receptors such as ERα and ERβ activate intracellular …

Background: Previous studies suggest that sex steroids influence colorectal cancer (CRC)
carcinogenesis. The oestrogen receptor β (ERβ) is the predominantly expressed ER in the …

BACKGROUND: A pivotal role of oestrogen receptor-beta has been suggested in colon
carcinogenesis in humans. However, few data are available on oestrogen receptor-beta in …
